Haikus by John

“English” (American) loose Haiku
3 line

autumn winds
the bamboo in my garden
is broken



Opening lines of Shakespeare Sonnet 18 converted to haiku
Classical 5-7-5

shall I compare thee
to a sumer’s day thou art
more lovely and more


A Northern Seascape.
Classical 5-7-5

horizon sea shore
chill winds from the arctic dune
grass pricking ankles


An Essex Marsh-scape.
Classical 5-7-5

shipwreck bladderwrack
wrought iron rib marsh mud bound
the sanderling’s home
